The character
S: its place in the collection
Our S size marks the entry point into the atelier’s ornamental world. Unlike the XS, which stays smooth and silent, the S knob carries a pattern: a sleeping lion, scrollwork, a sculpted ornament. It’s a small piece, certainly, but one that carries a design, an intention, a detail worth studying up close. The discretion of the size meets the expressiveness of the decoration, and it’s precisely this contrast that gives it its character.

Uses for the S format
As a knob
In knob form, the S size suits smaller pieces where you want to give the front a signature touch without overloading it: low dressers, sideboard drawers, entryway consoles, display cabinets, liquor cabinets, cabinets of curiosities, restored secretary desks. It’s also a great choice for a child’s piece you want to see grow alongside them, or for punctuating a row of small drawers (apothecary chest, semainier, desk drawer unit) with a repeated graphic touch.
In pull knobs
For pulls, the S size comes in a single dimension: 96 mm. It’s a small, slender drawer pull, ideal for narrow drawers, low fronts, or furniture whose look calls for a measured touch. It shows to advantage on more delicate kitchen cabinets (cutlery drawer fronts, tall toe kicks), on bathroom vanity units, on low sideboards or Scandinavian credenzas. It adds character without weighing down the composition.
Pose & fixation
How to install it
Two logics coexist here. The S knob mounts at a single point, like the XS, through one drilled hole. The S pull, on the other hand, requires two holes spaced exactly 96 mm apart center to center, one of the most common standards in European furniture. If you’re replacing older handles, measure the distance between the centers of the two screws precisely before ordering.
By touch
The hand and the gesture
The S retains the density and depth of material that define the atelier. The pattern, carved in relief, can be felt beneath the fingertip before it’s even seen. This is a handle that invites touch as much as sight, revealing its details gradually, with use.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions about S-size handles
Product and Material
Sizes and Patterns
Are All Finishes and Patterns Available in Size S?
Nearly all finishes, yes. As for patterns, the more detailed ones (lions, fine scrollwork) gain clarity at size M and above: on a very small size, an intricate design reads less clearly. The exact combinations of size, pattern, and material appear at the moment of choice, on the product page. When in doubt about a sculptural pattern, go with M or a larger size.
Center-to-center spacing and drilling
Can I Order a Size with a Non-standard Center-to-center?
Yes. Most of our two-point sizes can be ordered with custom drilling, around the standard values of 96, 128, and 160 mm depending on the size. Just note the center-to-center you need in the order comments. The handle's overall length stays the same, only the screw positions shift to line up with your existing holes. It's the solution for replacing an old handle without redrilling your front.

Choosing your size
What Size Handle for a Kitchen or a Walk-in Closet?
In the kitchen, size M (128 mm center-to-center) is the safe choice for recent door and drawer fronts; for large pot and pan drawers, move up to L (160 mm) or XL (192 mm). In a closet, XL matches the verticality of full-height doors, while M or S stay discreet on interior drawers. The general rule: match the handle's presence to the scale of the piece. When in doubt, a medium size works almost everywhere.
Does Size S Fit My Furniture?
Each size has its favorite pieces, detailed in the Uses section at the top of this page. The simple rule: match the handle's presence to the piece of furniture, a small drawer calls for a small size, a large front can take a longer one without looking overwhelmed. Size S fits within that logic of proportion. If you're replacing a two-point pull, the main thing to check is that its center-to-center matches your existing holes.
Find your handles in size S
For qui cherche une petite poignée ornementée, un bouton de meuble sculpté ou une poignée à entraxe 96 mm avec du caractère, le S est l’option la plus juste.
For those looking for a small ornamented handle, a sculpted cabinet knob, or a 96 mm center-to-center pull with character, the S is the right choice.
